Chapter 843: Misfortunes lead to the south (Last Part)

When the four of them arrived at the headquarters, Jinnah was already waiting at the door. Compared to a few years ago, the respected father of Mumeng was much older, with gray hair and glasses, which was obviously caused by long-term work fatigue. "Mr. Jinnah, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Zhidan accelerated his pace and shook his hand, introducing Fei Wenhua and Wu Huanxian to him.

"Thank you Allah for bringing you here." After Jinnah shook hands with the three of them, he brought everyone to the quiet room on the second floor, and asked the waiter to bring milk tea and breakfast. Ayub also took the opportunity to take out the list of assistance brought by Zhang Zhidan. After reading it, he also showed a look of shock on his face, and a trace of peace of mind flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Zhidan knew the meaning of Zhenna's eyes. After all, the Mu League is not a piece of iron plate. There are many internal factions and tribes. Just combining them together is a huge project. In addition, Britain did not give up resistance after Japan advanced south, and the fierce battle between Bangladesh and Myanmar has continued. Therefore, India has been very chaotic this year, but it was not the main battlefield, so it was not paid attention to the outside world. "Mr. Jinna, can you briefly introduce the situation?" Fei Wenhua has received the appointment of the commander of the Bangladesh Division. He thought that he would go to Bangladesh to form a resistance army soon, and he really hoped to learn more about the current situation in India.

Jinnah did not reserve and introduced it in a leisurely manner.

India is very, very chaotic now. Before the Japanese Marine Corps entered Bangladesh and Kolkata, it had caused panic. After the Battle of Avas, the British government immediately transferred Lieutenant General Quinan, the former commander of the Arab Legion, and tried to drive away the Japanese army together with the Indian Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief of the British and Indian Army. Although Nehru once called on the Indians not to serve the colonists, his deep colonial foundation and manpower advantages still allowed Britain to quickly form twelve British and Indian divisions. Five of them had been transferred.

Going to the Middle East, Egypt and the mainland, five of the remaining seven were cooperating with three Australian armored battalions to attack Kolkata, Bangladesh and Myanmar. Since the Japanese army's main direction was the Philippines some time ago, the Marines entering India could only defend the city. Cunningham also took the opportunity to transfer more than a dozen destroyers and submarines from the Mediterranean Fleet to harass the Bay of Bengal and the Myanmar coast, and arranged 100 of the H-6 bombers sold by China and hurricane fighters transferred from the mainland to fight against the Japanese in Mumbai.

In the short term, Britain has stabilized its front, but as the Japanese army controls the Philippines, East India and Siam puppet troops were formed, several warships have begun to cruise near Ceylon, and at least three army brigades and several marine garrison brigades have been transferred from the mainland and Malaya to Myanmar and Andaman. A new round of Myanmar-Bangladesh offensive is approaching.

Although the number and supply of Japanese troops are not enough to go deeper, all sectors of India are not optimistic about the British being able to recover lost territory, because the British and Indian divisions are of poor quality and equipment, and have almost never won battles since the war started. Therefore, there are rumors that the British government is considering inviting China to send troops to Myanmar and Bangladesh. Even the US government wants to intervene and consider selling weapons to the British and Indian troops to attack the Japanese.

The domestic situation is also very chaotic. Nehru is determined to collude with the Soviet Union and has used the Afghan passage to obtain a large number of Soviet weapons and equipment. However, as the news of the Afghan passage being cut off and the Central Asian battle came, he put forward the illusion of separation from the Soviet Union and invited Jinnah and Chandra to hold talks in hopes of reaching a reconciliation. However, the views of the three parties are too different. Nehru insists on maintaining the Greater India, while Jinnah is determined to make the Muslim alliance independent and establish a country. As for Chandra, it is simply the defense force placed in India.

The pawn, coupled with his hatred of Nehru and the Congress Party, so the tripartite negotiations quickly broke down. After the negotiations broke down, Nehru realized that the Congress Party had been challenged, so he immediately reached a secret cooperation agreement with the Indian GC Party and colluded with the Japanese army to purchase a large number of weapons and equipment. Finally, he deliberately pretended to cooperate to please Marquis Linlisgo and Quinan, persuaded them to declare the Muslim League and the Indian Democratic Party as illegal organizations, and continued to put pressure on Jinnah and Chandra to try to disintegrate the two factions.

After listening to Jinnah's introduction, Fei Wenhua scratched his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that he would face such a complicated situation. Not only the three parties were confronted, Japan, Britain, India's GC Party and the Soviet Union were in chaos! In the end, even the United States even made the intention to get involved, which made him a little worried about whether he could grasp the situation well.

You should know that although several of their Asian alliance divisions were formed, the country was not ready to immediately intervene in Southeast Asia and India. The goal in the past two years was still to deal with the Soviet Union first, so they took the opportunity of the United States to support the Philippines to strengthen the Asian Alliance bit by bit and drag the Japanese army to the south. According to the General Staff’s idea, it is to use the guise of the United States to support the Philippines to develop its own Asian Alliance, drag down as much as possible, put Japan into the quagmire of Southeast Asia, greatly consume the Japanese army's vitality, and at the same time buy time for the main force. Therefore, their seed troops are mainly based in the local area and disguised as a group of resistance troops. Of course, the country will also provide necessary support, but at least for a period of time, they will not recognize the existence of the Asian Alliance and the support of the resistance troops.

The operation of the Asian League has just begun, and it is not the most important thing at the moment, so Zhang Zhidan turned the topic back to the Afghan Soviet Army: "Mr. Jinnah, we have obtained reliable information. Herat's Soviet army is about to break through and join Nehru. In order to ensure your safety, the President specifically asked me to bring weapons and equipment to support me, and sent Brigade Commander Wu to protect your flanks."

After the Central Asia Battle, Sun Chuanfang secretly visited Peshawar and discussed with Jinnah about driving the Soviet army to India, and hoped that the Muslim alliance would open the passage and facilitate the Soviet army to transit. But as the plan was about to begin, Ayub was still worried: "Encourt Zhang, the Soviets have 200,000 troops in Afghanistan, and we only have 5 divisions, of which 2 have already gone to Sabiri Lake to cooperate with you to guard Mashhad. Even if Brigade Commander Wu brings a brigade, what should we do if the Soviet army stays in our area and doesn't leave?"

Compared with Ayub's military focus, Jinnah was more worried that the Soviet army would strengthen Nehru's strength after entering. He was very qingchu. Although the Soviet army was beaten in a mess by the National Defense Forces, facing second-rate troops such as the British-Indian division and the Mu League, if they really came in, it would be useless if they were several times more numerous. Moreover, the Soviet army stationed in Asahi had fought for several years and was an absolute veteran unit, and its combat effectiveness was only stronger than the previous Kazakh front! So he was afraid that Nehru would immediately attack the Mu League after the Soviet army entered.

Zhang Zhidan knew what he was worried about and pointed at Fei Wenhua with a smile: "Mr. Jinnah, Colonel Fei Wenhua is about to go to Bangladesh to work, where he will form troops to drag Japan and Nehru. As for your side, Brigade Commander Wu will temporarily stay here for a while, and the President asked me to assure you that before the end of the war, we will deploy at least three infantry divisions in Kandahar, Urgon and Kabul to ensure that you can support you at any time! The President also promised to support you a fighter brigade, help you train pilots, and once again deliver the equipment of a total of five infantry divisions to you by the end of the year."

There are tanks in front and fighter jets in the back. There are five infantry divisions equipped before the end of the year! In addition to the protection of three infantry divisions and Wu Huanxian's plateau brigade stationed in Peshawar, and finally Fei Wenhua was restrained in Bangladesh, Ayub was a little moved.

But Jinnah was still a little worried, and she moved her lips as if she wanted to say something. Zhang Zhidan immediately interrupted when he saw this: "Mr. Jinnah, I know you are very worried. But I hope you think about it seriously. If you want to re-establish order, you must first break the old order! Nehru and the Congress Party are deeply rooted and have a great influence. Unless they disappear, the British will never ask you to cooperate. Therefore, only by letting the UK see the true face of Nehru, they will be anxious! They will need your strength to maintain the security of the Indian mainland! And you can also take advantage of this need to serve the founding of the country."

Zhenna remained silent and thought for ten minutes before nodding: "Mr. Special Envoy. What are we going to do now?"

Zhang Zhidan felt relieved and looked at Wu Huanxian with a smile: "Sir, you are really wrong. I have been out of the army for twenty years, and I am afraid I am not as good as the soldiers around Commander Ayub."

The funny words made several people laugh. Wu Huanxian also took the opportunity to spread the map on the table: "Sir, you see, the Soviet army must go to Kandahar and Quetta to break through. We will block it in Kandahar and also notify Quetta's British army. What we need to do now is to evacuate the people near Mount Suleiman as soon as possible, and ambush and eat some of them, and then."

"brigadier!"

Before he could finish his words, Jinnah's personal bodyguard hurried in with a staff officer. When the staff officer saw Wu Huanxian, he immediately muttered. When he finished speaking, Wu Huanxian immediately stood up: "Mr. Jinnah, Commander Ayub, we should discuss on the way. The Soviet army has broken through to Kandahar!"

.

In Quetta, Colonel Jamic, the commander of the 8th English-Indian Division, walked leisurely to the window with coffee. The sky outside the window was covered with clouds, and the cold wind on the plateau condensed countless water droplets into small ice, splashing down, hitting the glass and crackling. "What a bad weather. Marion, you lazy, my fireplace is almost extinguished!"

For an English noble officer with a good family background, the winter without a fireplace was unbearable, so Jamic called the guards to fill the firewood and picked up the newspaper slowly. It was not that he was tired, but that Quetta really had nothing to do with a colonel commander. The 8th British and Indian division was just doing it here to prevent small groups of Soviet troops from crossing the border and deterring the Mu League guerrillas.

The problem is that the Muslim guerrillas will not be foolish to attack the regular army, and the Kandahar-China-Arab coalition forces outside the border will not be fine to attack the printing level. Apart from the Chinese reconnaissance planes that flew around every now and then, there was nothing to do. But as a British officer, he was still very concerned about European wars, so when he read the news that the Royal Navy finally forced the German Earl Spee to sink, he couldn't help but slapped the table.

But just as he was about to turn the page, the sound of the plane engine suddenly came from outside. "It was that damn guy flying in such a ghost weather! Is the property of the British Empire a toy for personal heroes?" Jamic was very angry when he heard the sound of the plane. He thought it was a fighter team stationed in Quetta, but after going out, he found that a National Defense Army Y7 was hovering at a low altitude above his head.

"Are these guys crazy? Are they still flying in this weather?" Hearing the voice, the officers came out one after another. Everyone knew this newest light contact/transport aircraft in China. What surprised many people was that it dared to fly in this weather. You must know that the tiny ice can damage the engine at any time and may condense on the surface of the fuselage. In case of accidents, they will be forced to land at a minimum, and they will crash at worst!

Before the officers could make the qingchu plane hovering, the Yunqi had already seen the short-distance highway and rushed down.

"Come, drive the car quickly! Damn, are they going to invade India?" Jamic shouted loudly and immediately sent someone to chase him. The officers were also in a mess. When Jamic and his party arrived on the road, Yunqi had stopped, and three fully armed paratroopers protected Yiming's Chinese captains and came to salute.

"Sir! I am the liaison officer of the Chinese National Defense Force in Afghanistan. I need to meet the highest commander here immediately." The lieutenant was very polite and fluent in English, which relieved Jamic. He thrust his waist hard, and even sorted out his hat before returning the greeting: "I am the highest officer here, British Army Colonel Alfred Jamic, why did you land here?"

"Captain Jamic, I came to inform you specifically by the order of the War Zone Command. Herat's Soviet troops broke out from our encirclement last night and are moving quickly here! Please rest assured that we have set up positions in Kandahar to block them, but I hope you will also prepare the troops as soon as possible to prevent them from rushing over."

"Very good, thank you, wait!" Jamic was not responding at first, but after he recalled it, he suddenly widened his eyes: "What did you say? The Soviets escaped from your encirclement and came here!"

"Yes, about 150,000 people escaped." The lieutenant smiled in his heart, but his face looked anxious for Jamic: "They are crazy, so please be careful! Sir, we cannot stay for a long time, we must go back to participate in the blocking battle immediately." After saying that, the lieutenant, regardless of how wonderful Jamic's face was, immediately turned around and returned to Kandahar.

Looking at Yunqi who had soared into the air for a short distance, Jamic felt dizzy.

150,000 Soviet troops rushed towards Quezon!
